There's a Gateron Red that's supposed to be the same as MX Reds. Clear Gaterons are in their own tier. :))
The Gateron Black & Blues are supposed to have the same actuating weight as Cherry MX Reds as well.
well, I could be wrong, where did you find the weights out Zeal?There's a Gateron Red that's supposed to be the same as MX Reds. Clear Gaterons are in their own tier. :))

And yeah, you could add Gateron Reds to the light linear category

Clears must be ridiculously light!
Here's the product catalog for their V1 switches:Show Image(http://puu.sh/fkpvn/76c9c23fdb.jpg)
Blue/Black are "60gf"
Brown is "55gf"
Red is "45gf"
Gray/white (what we know as clear) stem is listed at 70 & 80gf. On another picture of their V1 catalog, "clear" stem was supposed to be "customizable" stem for ODM purposes.
There was also a limited production run of 150g (actuation?) linears in V1 clear housings.Show Image(http://puu.sh/fktbV/78724e1cb7.jpg)Show Image(http://puu.sh/fktjz/b76e2810bb.jpg)

Now I'm confused... clears are actually heavy linears?

No. That's just what's stated in the catalog. I'm guessing Gateron decided to use 35gs for clears instead.

Yeah I'm not sure how they can even be comfortable to use
I really want to try some of the rip off switches to see how different they are and if I can feel the difference.
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of "it would hurt to bottom out that much" :pYeah I'm not sure how they can even be comfortable to use
Well it depends on how you define comfort. The crazy lightness is actually really comfortable to use since keypresses take almost no force so getting tired would be nearly impossible, but it's a little awkward and you really have to watch what you're doing to not typo everywhere.
The blues definitely have a much higher actuation, like a full mm.I really want to try some of the rip off switches to see how different they are and if I can feel the difference.
I've seen Gateron clears, reds, blacks, and blues. I didn't play with the reds/blacks much because I prefer tactile switches to linear. Red felt about the same, black seemed a little lighter. Blue is a little harder to compare ATM because I just have a lose blue switch with a keycap on it at the moment, but it does feel a bit different from the blues on my monoprice. Maybe a little higher and faster on the click, and the click sounds a bit sharper and higher pitched. Hard to tell without mounting it on something though. Clear doesn't have an MX equivalent.

Insanely. I ended up getting a board with them at a meetup yesterday and I'm almost convinced I could actuate them with a strong breath. Typing on them I get a lot of errors, but I'm used to blues which are both heavier and obviously the whole tactile clicking thing.Yeah I'm not sure how they can even be comfortable to use
